Writer and teacher Yin Jianli"s stories and thoughts about bringing up her daughter
Yuanyuan have been a constant source of inspiration for parents over the past 16 years.
Her book, A Good Mother Exceeds Good Teachers, published by Writers Publishing House, has been a bestseller on Dangdang and Amazon"s online platforms
for the past three years. The book helped Yin make the Chinese Writers" Rich List, with 4. 48 million yuan（＄710，000).
Experts say Yin"s book provides practical guidance, which makes it popular among parents.
"When the majority of books are either full of bragging about（自吹自擂）the authors" children or outlining big theories that have no foundation in practice, I write books that are practical and easy to follow," Yin writes.
"For example, there was an occasion when Yuanyuan forgot to do her elementary school homework. In such a situation many Chinese parents show their anger and scold their kids,”says Yin, who made an agreement with her husband they would not overly criticize or push their daughter. Instead, Yin encouraged the daughter to make up the homework, which meant staying up until midnight. As a result, she learned to arrange her time better and did not have a harmful reaction to doing homework. Yin"s principle of "no parental interference（干涉），and "giving children the opportunity to learn from their mistakes" is described in a number of real-life examples.
Readers say Yin"s books improve their children"s performance at school, and encourage them to develop good personalities and habits. They believe her books are not only about being good parents but also about growing as parents and individuals.
"When I"m reading books，I keep thinking about what a better personality I would have if my parents had adopted the methods Yin suggests when I was a kid，＂one reader comments in a review on Yin"s online blog.

That morning, I stepped into the classroom, ready to share my knowledge and experience with seventy-five students who would be my English Literature class. Having taught in 1 for seventeen years, I had no 2 about my ability to hold their attention and to 3 on them my admiration for the literature of my mother tongue.
I was shocked when the monitor shouted, " 4 !" The entire class rose as I entered the room, and I was somewhat 5 about how to get them to sit down again, but once that awkwardness was over, I quickly 6 my calmness and began what I thought was a fact-packed lecture, sure to gain their respect—perhaps 7 their admiration. I went back to my office with the rosy glow which came from a sense of achievement.
My students 8 diaries. However, as I read them, the rosy glow was gradually 9 by a strong sense of sadness. The first diary said, "Our literature teacher didn’t teach us anything today. 10 her next lecture will be better." Greatly surprised, I read diary after diary, each expressing a 11 theme. "Didn’t I teach them anything? I described the entire philosophical framework of Western thought and laid the historical 12 for all the works we’ll study in class," I complained." How _13 they say I didn’t teach them anything?"
It was a long term, and it 14 became clear that my ideas about education were not the same as_15 of my students. I thought a teacher’s job was to raise 16 questions and provide enough background so that students could 17 their own conclusions. My students thought a teacher’s job was to provide _18_ information as directly and clearly as possible. What a difference!
_19 , I also learned a lot, and my experience with my Chinese students has made me a 20 American teacher, knowing how to teach in a different culture.

One of the world"s richest men has taken a close interest in one of man’s most basic functions: visiting the toilet．Bill Gates’s charitable organization, the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, is looking for inventors to design the loo of the future, which, they hope, would improve sanitation for millions of people around the world．
So, what"s wrong with the traditional flush toilet? Firstly, it wastes a huge amount of potential drinking water．Secondly, they are more likely to cause pollution．This is a real problem in many areas of the developing world, where, according to United Nations estimates, unsafe sanitation causes half of all hospitalizations．Younger people are particularly at risk．Illnesses which cause diarrhea are responsible for the deaths of about 1.5 million children a year．Finally, standard lavatories simply aren’t practical in remote areas．
The challenge set by Bill Gates was to come up with a latrine which works without running water, electricity or aseptic tank(化粪池)．It also needed to operate for less than 5 cents．28 designs were displayed at the recent Reinvent the Toilet Fair in Seattle, USA．Among them was one which turned human waste into electricity using microwaves, another which converted human waste into charcoal, and yet another which used urine for flushing．
But the winner was a solar-powered design which generated hydrogen gas and electricity.The team from the California Institute of Technology（CIT）picked up a prize of $ 100,000.
But clearly Bill Gates doesn’t feel he’s flushing money down the toilet．After the Seattle event he said, “We, couldn’t be happier with the response we’ve gotten,” Gates has even pledged $370m more to the future toilet project．They hope to field test more prototypes over the next three years．
小题1:Why is Bill Gates paying people to invent new toilets?| A．Because he wants to test people’s sense of creativity． | | B．Because he wants to improve sanitation for many people． | | C．Because he thinks the traditional ones are out of fashion． | | D．Because he can’t design this kind of things himself． |
小题2:Which of the following is NOT a problem with the traditional flush toilet?| A．They waste too much water． | | B．They might cause diseases． | | C．They are not always practical． | | D．They are too complicated to use. |
小题3:The underlined word “latrine” in the third paragraph might have similar meanings to the word “__ ”n the text．| A．Loo | B．sanitation | C．diarrhea | D．prototype |
小题4:The team from CIT won the prize because their design .| A．can change human waste into electricity | | B．can turn human waste into charcoal | | C．can produce power with solar energy | | D．can use urine for flushing |
小题5:If someone “flush money down the toilet”, they are .| A．showing off their wealth | | B．being angry with their work onditions | | C．wasting money for nothing | | D．expressing their great determination |

A child, who has once got interested in a tale, likes, as a rule, to have it retold in almost the same words, but this should not lead parents to treat printed fairy stories as formal texts. It is always much better to “tell” a story than just “read” it out of a book, and, if a parent can produce his own as an improvement on the printed text, according to his child’s actual situation, so much the better.
There is a charge made against some fairy tales, as they probably harm children by frightening them or leaving them sad feelings. To prove it, an experiment has been done to show that children who have heard terrible fairy stories often feel more uneasy than those who have not. As for fears, there are some cases where children get timid (胆怯的) by some fairy story. Often, however, this arises from the child having heard the story once. Familiarity with the story by repetition may weaken the pain of fear.
There are also people who object to fairy stories on the grounds that the stories are not objectively true, and that those giants, witches, two-headed dragons, magic carpets etc. do not really exist, so children should be taught to learn the reality by studying history, instead of being got fond of the strange side in fairy tales. Those, who prefer to create such stories, are so peculiar (奇怪的) that it is hard to argue with them. If their creative exaggeration (夸张) were sound, the world should be full of mad men attempting to fly from New York to Philadelphia on a stick or covering a telephone with kisses in the belief that it was their beloved girl-friend.
Not once is a fairy story ever declared to be a description of the real world, but not every child is clever enough to be aware of it. Parents should choose their children’s “bed-time” reading materials with much care. Only the fairy stories containing positive effect will make a clever and caring child with rich imagination.
小题1:The author considers that a fairy story is more effective when it is ______.| A．repeated without any change | | B．treated as no more than a joke | | C．made some changes by parents | | D．set in the present situation |
小题2:According to the passage, when a child hears a terrible fairy story, ______.| A．he will get more interested | | B．great fear can take place in him | | C．he will like it to be repeated | | D．an experiment is being done |
小题3:The word “sound” in Para.3 can be understood as ______.| A．fashionable | B．forgettable | C．available | D．believable |
小题4:The author mentions “sticks” and “telephones” to prove that ______.| A．fairy stories are all made up | | B．fairy tales lead to misunderstanding | | C．children are cheated by old stories | | D．there is more concern for children |
小题5:One of the reasons why some people are not in favor of fairy tales is that ______.| A．they are made up far from the truth | | B．they are so full of imagination | | C．they are not interesting at all | | D．they make history difficult to teach |
小题6:It makes sense that parents choose fairy stories with ______ as “bed-time” reading materials..| A．formal printings | B．creative scenes | C．positive effect | D．terrible characters |

The Peppered Moth, a kind of insect(昆虫), is found in England. It is light brown in colour and likes to settle(栖息) on trees which are also light brown. This makes the moth difficult to be seen and birds are less likely to notice and eat it.
But with the development of industry(工业) , smoke from factories began to reach the trees where the moth settled. It made the trees blacker. Then something very strange took place: in industrial areas, the Peppered Moth began to change colour. It became darker as well. Though the change took several years, some scientists soon notice that newly-born moths were a little darker than usual.
A scientist with the name Kettlewell decided to make a careful study of this phenomenon(现象). He marked some of the light moths and some of the darker ones, and set them free in the woods near Bermingham, an industrial city. Later, he recaptured(重新捕获) as many as the marked moths as possible. The results were as follows.
| light moths
| darker moths
| Moths set free
| 201
| 601
| moths recaptured
| 34(16%)
| 206(34%)
|
Kettlewell"s research (研究) was done in the early 1950s. Soon afterwards Britain introduced new laws to reduce smoke and factory pollution.
Can you imagine what would happen to the Peppered Moth as the air became cleaner again?
小题1:The Peppered Moth began to change its colour in industrial areas because .| A．it itself liked to | | B．it could be like the colour of its living-place | | C．it had to keep the balance of nature | | D．it was usually dark brown |
小题2:From the results of Kettlewell"s research, we can see that .| A．many more of the light moths were killed or eaten | | B．more than one-fifth of the light moths was not killed | | C．three times as many dark moths were kept safe as light ones | | D．more dark moths were killed in industrial areas |
小题3:As the air became cleaner, .| A．the number of the light moths became larger | | B．the total number of the light moths remained unchanged | | C．there were more of the darker moths and fewer of the light ones | | D．the darker moths changed into the light ones suddenly |

An experimental treatment that causes AIDS patients to develop a dangerously high fever has shown promise as a way of prolonging and improving the patients’ life.Called the Biologic-HT System, the new treatment lets doctors extract the blood of a patient and heat it before circulating it back into the body. The heated blood causes the patient’s body temperature to rise above 42 degrees Celsius. In people with AIDS, that increase in temperature kills some heat-sensitive HIV, the virus, most doctors say, causes AIDS.
Heating the blood of AIDS patients has been tried before, say doctors. But during previous attempts, the treatment induced deadly chemical changes in the blood. The Biologic-HT System prevents those changes from happening, allowing the heat to kill viruses with few ill side effects.
The new heat treatment cannot be considered a cure for Aids, says president of the company that makes the system. He says the treatment doesn’t kill all traces of the virus. However, it kills enough virus particles to give a patient’s immune system a reprieve in its deadly duel with HIV.
Tests of the Biologic-HT treatment began on 36 patients earlier this year. The treatment takes about four hours, and the patient normally feels well enough to leave the hospital or clinic the following morning.
So far, the patients who have had the treatment say they feel better and have developed no new opportunistic infections—disease that strike people with damaged immune systems. The patients also have experienced about a 50 percent increase in the number of T cells in their bodies. T cells are key disease-fighting cells of the immune system and the main target of HIV.
小题1:This passage is mainly concerned with ____________.| A． a way for treating AIDS | | B． a heat-sensitive virus | | C． the immune system of the human body | | D． the function of high temperature |
小题2:The blood of the patient___________.| A． is heated with a single injection | | B． is heated by being circulated at a higher rate | | C． is taken out from the body and then circulated through a heating system. | | D．is taken out from the body, heated outside and then put back into the body. |
小题3:The previous attempts to use high temperature for treating AIDS failed because they_________. | A．caused chemical changes | | B．could not kill HIV effectively | | C．resulted in deaths | | D．killed both HIV and healthy cells |
小题4:According to the passage, the new treatment___________.| A．can kill all the HIV viruses | | B．cannot eliminate the viruses completely | | C． can double the number of disease-fighting cells | | D．can reconstruct the patient’s immune system. |
小题5:The result of the experiment seems to be ___________.| A．disappointing | B．incomplete | C．successful | D．surprising |
